Quick take
A compact spinnerbait with PowerBait skirt and dual blades for smaller fish and finesse.
This 1/2 oz spinnerbait in a black nickel and black finish pairs a Colorado blade with a compact head that gives steady vibration on a slow retrieve. Its hand-tied silicone skirt and conical bait keeper make it easy to add a soft plastic trailer. Its extended-shank Fusion19 hook is part of the build for bass anglers.

Skip if

Strengths

About this type
A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.
Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
